The ones from Logitech looks expensive, but I see that Lenovo has launched webcams too that are priced much lower. Anyone tried those?

04/12/2021, 12:57 PMHey Raghav! I bought this one from Lenovo for 2,580: https://amzn.to/3t6t4Z3
The only problem is it is too wide angle (95 degrees) and I have not figured out an option to zoom yet. Also, the prices have increased since March 31st.
